Neighborhood overview
Santa Anita Village is in Arcadia, California. West Arcadia, with boundaries along Michillinda Avenue, Hugo Reid Drive and Cortez Road.
The resolution names the area the Village. Its boundary follows several tracts, so a street can be partly inside and partly outside.
Resolution No. 7272 gives the Village a legal description that follows Michillinda Avenue, Hugo Reid Drive, Cortez Road, Portola Drive and a series of tract lines. Use the City's HOA area map or the resolution to confirm whether a parcel is inside.
Homes & property types
Single-family homes on tracts that Resolution No. 7272 uses to draw the Village's southern and eastern lines, including Tract Nos. 12786, 12104, 11688 and 11932. From there the boundary runs along Cortez Road, Portola Drive, Balboa Drive and Sunset Boulevard back to Michillinda Avenue.
What makes properties here different
Confirm the parcel is inside the Village, then gather the Architectural Review Board approvals for past exterior work. Price against other Village sales, since homes there share the same review rules.
Short Review decisions in the Village are made by the ARB chair or designees appointed under the association's bylaws, whose names have been given to the City and who have completed any training the City requires, according to Resolution No. 7272. No public hearing is needed.
Living in the neighborhood
Cortez Road and Portola Drive are among the streets named in the area's boundary.
The City's page lists a phone contact for the Santa Anita Village Association's ARB chair and posts a pre-approved roofing list for the Village. A roof material that isn't on the list needs a short review.
